The Memories deleted by the Alzheimer's can recover

The Memories deleted by the Alzheimer's can recover

This is the name of the article, on an experiment done to mice by bursts of light in the brain. For the experiment took two groups of mice a few healthy and other genetically modified for suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer's, they placed the mice in a passenger compartment whose soil blew electric shock.
As was to be expected, after spending several days sick mice had forgotten the electric shock that had received previous days, while the non-ill reminded the jolt with Fear.
As gave an expected result decided to try another method. In this entered the game in the optogenética, inserts, using viruses, algae genes sensitive to light in the brains of mice. To mark these specific cells and powering them with bursts of light, mice with Alzheimer's returned to recall the electric shock. This means that if a memory seems to have vanished, is still there and the only thing difficult is to know how to retrieve it from all.
However to turn the light off the rescue of the memories are suspended, the result of this experiment was that the long-term sick mice recovered memory and were well as normal mice.

''Even if a memory seems to have vanished, still there. The problem is how to retrieve it''

Opinión personal: I believe that this experiment with pets is a great step forward for the science and i am in favor of this as long as the animals do not suffer. In addition the Alzheimer's for me, is one of the worst diseases, not to say the worst. Has affected more than 8,000 Spanish people and not remember moments of your life is very hard because the basis of life is that, Live live and live to build a tomorrow. I only hope that some day a cure is found for humans and it disappears this disease


GLOSARIO
passenger compartment -> habitáculo : Coarse and senzillo space/ espacio tosco y senzillo
